Chapter 9: Slaves, Li Xin, and Harvest!
Eight large fires had risen on the beach directly in front of the two warships, illuminating the beach very brightly within a radius of 100 meters, Liu Chen returned his nine flying knives to their original positions, and then looked ahead with some joy.

Why some joy? That's because in front of them, there are two hundred and forty **** upper body sturdy, they have obvious scars on their bodies, and they also have a tired look on their faces, but their eyes are extremely bright at the moment.
These two hundred and forty people were found by Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others in the bottom compartment of the two warships, which was the power cabin of the warship, that is, the place where the oarsmen stayed.
What surprised Liu Chen even more was that these two hundred and forty strong, Meng Yi and Meng Tian actually knew each other, because they were all soldiers of the former Chengshan Landscape Division, and they were comrades-in-arms of Meng Tian and Meng Yi, some of them were captured when they were defeated, and some were captured by the Dongying people in the village, all they had to do was to put on the chains and help the Dongying people to generate power for the warship.
Liu Chen didn't think that this attack would be able to rescue two hundred and forty soldiers who had become a landscape master, so this time he was really shocked, and while he was shocked, he was thinking about how to bring these two hundred and forty soldiers under his command, once he had these powers, Liu Chen would be much more confident.
Meng Tian, Meng Yi and the others held back their excitement and stood on the periphery with torches in their hands, they knew what Liu Chen was going to do, they did not object, but very much hoped that these former comrades-in-arms could join them in fighting side by side.
"I heard Meng Tian say that you are all soldiers of the Chengshan Landscape Division, so I want to ask, among you, are there any officers in the Chengshan Landscape Division in the past?" Taking a deep breath, Liu Chen spoke.
Two hundred and forty soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, the last middle-aged man in his forties walked out, only to see him bow to Liu Chen with a fist, and then said: "In Xia Li Xin, the commander of the third brigade of the Chengshan Water Division." ā
Liu Chen was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that there was a commander here, you must know, a commander can lead a thousand troops, and now Liu Chen himself is also a commander, but there are only dozens of people, not to mention, this Li Xin reminded Liu Chen again, in the previous life, the general of the Qin State in ancient China was also called Li Xin.
"Commander Li, at present, the Dongying people are rampant in Weihai, and the king of Lu does not act, so we personally form volunteers to resist the Dongying people, you are all born in the army, it is your responsibility to protect your family and defend the country, I don't know what your plans are in the future!" Liu Chen forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke.
Hearing this, Li Xin smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, there were 8,000 sailors and more than 200 warships, how magnificent was it to become a landscape master? In the face of 5,000 Dongying soldiers, we were defeated at the touch of a button, which is really a shame for the people of Weihai who supported us. ā
"We were defeated and captured, and today we are rescued by Your Excellency, we are not unloyal, if we don't give up, we are willing to be under your command, and follow Your Excellency to fight the Dongying Samurai again!" Li Xin glanced at the many strong people behind him, and suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Liu Chen and shouted loudly.
"We are willing to follow Your Excellency and fight again to avenge the revenge of the past!" The remaining two hundred and thirty-nine warriors of the Chengshan Landscape Division knelt down on one knee without hesitation and said loudly to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen strode forward, helped Li Xin up, and said to Li Xin and all the soldiers of the Chengshan Landscape Division: "Everyone, please hurry up, Liu Chen has thanked you here now, Liu Chen can't guarantee anything else, but there is one thing, I will definitely do it, that side is Feng Zhan, I am in the front, and I am in the last in retreat, if one day I don't do what I said, all of you can kill me on the spot!" ā
"I'll follow you to the death!" As soon as Liu Chen's words fell, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others shouted in unison at the same time, followed by dozens of soldiers from the Chengshan Army.
In the end, including Li Xin, on the beach, nearly 300 soldiers shouted in unison: "I will follow to the death!" ā
The next thing is much simpler, Liu Chen is still the commander, Li Xin, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi are the commanders, and Chen Shanjun, in addition to Liu Chen's personal guards, is divided into three squadrons, which are led by Li Xin, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi respectively.
After the general planning of the Chengshan Army, Liu Chen also asked people to start counting the gains of this battle, and in the early hours of the morning, when all the gains were gathered into numbers, everyone was boiling.
The harvest of two warships and six red horse boats is one of them, and the second is to get two hundred taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver, and the ratio of gold to silver is one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, that is, five thousand taels of silver were harvested in this battle.
The third is weapons, in the warship, they found a large number of standard weapons, all of which are common weapons of the Donglong Empire army, more than 300 standard horizontal knives, more than 80 spears, more than 200 pairs of horn bows, 3,000 arrows, and two eight-ox crossbows, 50 pairs of foot armor weighing 60 catties, 120 pairs of chain mail of 15 catties, not counting the katana and armor left after the Dongying warriors died in battle.
Fourth, and the last harvest is 500 stone of grain, one stone of grain is 100 catties, 500 stone is 50,000 catties of grain, now for Chen Shanjun, it is to have weapons and weapons, to have food and food, and now the urgent shortage is manpower, Liu Chen is ready to reorganize a little, that is, to start recruiting soldiers!
On the Hukou half-slope on the left side of the outermost part of Chengshan Military Port, it is in full swing at this moment, and hundreds of people are working here, building wooden houses with their hands.
This is the fifth day that Liu Chen has come to this dragon world, and the big victory five days ago has brought great encouragement to the villagers of Chengshan Village, and it has also increased Liu Chen's reputation, in order to avoid the attack of the Dongying people, Liu Chen decided to let Chengshan Village relocate.
The original Chengshan Village was quite wide on all sides, and there was no terrain to defend at all, and after two days of observation, Liu Chen found that the left and right Hukou of the Chengshan Military Port were extremely suitable for establishing a place to live.
The left and right sides of the Hukou are higher, fifty or sixty meters high from the sea, one side around the sea is full of cliffs, and it is impossible to climb at all, and the other side is a downward slope, which is full of rocks, but there is a road that can be passed, and only four war horses can be allowed to go hand in hand, which is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, this kind of terrain has advantages and disadvantages, that is, once the enemy surrounds it, there is no way for the people on it to retreat, because there is an endless sea behind it.
In view of this, Liu Chen also has a plan, there are only thirty meters between the two pot mouths, Liu Chen plans to build a wooden bridge above this pot mouth, unless the enemy attacks on both sides, responsible, this is a way out, but this project is not easy, at least five days have passed, no one has started construction, because what they have to do is to build a camp first.
